Some random notes and ooh-I-shoulda-said-thats regarding my final crit.

Do I respect Democracy with a capital ‘D’? Love with a capital ‘L’? Life with a capital ‘L’?

Make your art be something, don’t make it be about something.

You cannot fail from an abstracted, sarcastic distance.

If I nail myself to my horse trailer, does that make me more invested in my art? Does it make it better art?

What is my position in respect to Art with a capital ‘A’?

I guess, regardless of how I put it, my skepiticism about Art comes through. Perhaps it is because I do feel it is an inherently selfish profession, which is fine, but one that often professes to be otherwise. I tried to ‘behave’ for the final crit, but perhaps I should not have.

I think I have a healthy (or perhaps unhealthy) dollop of irreverence towards everything in my life.

Do I want to be Koons, Barney, or Starling?

More to come…
